I’ve just received word............

[saynta]

If we lose to Gold Coast Ratten will be coach come
Monday. Take that to the bank. I believe it’s the
wrong move but our Pres has made up his mind.

With all due respect. Crap.

[saynta]

What’s your sauce?

BBQ?

Mustard??

It’s a rubbish rumour. In any case, it’s virtually impossible to lose to GC

Mayo.

I'm calling BS, and quite frankly I question the OP's source. Quite frankly, I seriously doubt there is a source, rather the OP just posting an opinion.

If it were possible to gamble on this event, I'd happily hold the bet.

For starters, the decision is the Board's, not the President alone. Secondly, I just can't imagine our President would share his thoughts with the poster.

Finally, I would be very surprised, and disappointed if our board was prepared to make a decision based on a single event.

Wow that's a big call

It’s not a big call. I’m just advising you what I have heard

Take that to the bank........

The bank of the Werribee River?

File under CRUD.

[DJ Higgins]

Don't feed the trolls. There is 100% a rumour that a lot of people want to believe in. Where is the proof? Seriously.
We have no idea what happens behind closed doors and what the club has planned. Most likely Richo doesn't win enough games to trigger his clause or to get reinstated next year and we get another coach then. We will be looking now obviously and hopefully do our DUE DILIGENCE this time

[Trev from the Bush]

Oh, I forgot. Brett Ratten will not be coaching StKilda next season.

ListManager had already nominated Ro$$y to return to the Saints

He will be Rising Star winner in 2020

Good to see the bar is being set as low as possible. Can't do fairer; what could possibly go wrong for AR. They wouldn't play the limbo rock would they; in Townsville its just the main two kinds of music, country and western.

[stkfc1]

Yeah. Not buying it, unless we lose by a massive amount, then maybe. Reckon theyll give him to see how we go once Carlise and Hanners are back on the park. If we keep losing, then its inevitable.

Mate I'm not doubting you but when you make that sort of a statement it's a big call IMO

[Joffa Burns]

This is huge news ....Ted can you confirm if true???

[Scollop]

If that decision really has been made, then we should make the change immediately.

No coaches tenure should rest on a single result - winning or losing vs the GC doesnt make a difference if Richo is the right man to lead our club forward. Either he is, or he isnt, and this weekend's game means no more or less than Round 1 of his first season, or any other single match in his time at our club.

So either the OP is making it up, or the decision has been made for a while, and it's just a matter of "optics" - and losing to the GC is a convenient platform for change. Same as losing to Carlton would have been, and losing to Port may have been enough if not for the food-poisoning debacle.

My personal opinion is that the latter is happening, and the Scott/Lethlean connection will be reunited in 2020, with the majority of our assistants staying on. I don't have any info, it's just my gut feel. Ratten will make a fine interim coach but I don't think he wants that gig permanently (at any club).

I agree with 98% of what you posted. I actually felt the same way you do regarding Ratten's ambitions until I read this article a couple of weeks ago

Exactly. He isn’t the right man to lead (sic) our club and no way the board would be making a decision about his tenure based on winning or losing one particular game.

he can't

I'm sure, if true, it would be based on Mr 33 & 1/3 win percentage since the beginning of his tenure rather than just one more loss.

So in all probability.....

With a win this week, Cho will have bought himself extra time in the job 3 times over with wins against the Gold Coast.

What an achievement.

And how old are you exactly?

I thought it was a good one.

[axcellence]

Even last year... similar type of words and Saints won by 3 points at gold coast. A 1 point win this year as well. Saints just don’t play gold coast well...

[SydneySainter]

I'm tipping we belt the suns, and richo gets another three years!

I assume you've been drinking...

You should sit down with your pet budgy and talk to him about spreading rumours that he just made up

[saynta]

Budgie.

Damn bird can't spell to save itself!

[Stephen Theodore]

I've just received word that this is just another "rumour" created by those obsessed to see the coach sacked.

More like it
